To prevent Data Protector processes from exceeding system capabilities, the maximum
number of concurrent backup sessions is limited. The limit is configurable.
Figure 64 on page 223 shows multiple sessions running concurrently.

Pre-exec and post-exec commands
Data Protector pre-exec commands enable you to execute some actions before a
backup or a restore session. Data Protector post-exec commands enable you to
execute some actions after a backup or a restore session. A typical pre-exec action
would be to shut down a database to put data in a consistent state.
The pre-exec and post-exec commands can be set for a backup specification and,
as such, executed on the Cell Manager system, or they can be specified as a backup
object option and thus executed on the client system where the respective Disk Agent
is running.
Pre-exec and post-exec script commands can be written as executables or shell scripts.
These are not supplied by Data Protector and must be written separately by, for
example, the backup operator.
